Commodities

Commodity prices can be volatile. They affect the full spectrum of your business including cash flow, profitability and future planning.

Managing your exposure to the ups and downs can help protect you from the impact of adverse price movements. Ignoring this risk can result in losses for your business, or lock you out of favourable price movements. 

Our regional and metropolitan based markets specialists look across the scope of your business to work out the impact of commodity prices on your market, industry, competition, clients and suppliers.

Portfolio approach

The portfolio approach asks a series of key questions to clarify your commodity exposure:

  • Business plan: what are your short, medium and long-term plans?
  • Risk profile: what level of certainty would you like?
  • Commodity view: how are prices likely to move?
  • Underlying assets: how are your assets impacted by price changes?
  • Cash flow analysis: how is your cash flow impacted by changing prices?
  • Succession planning: how well are you planning for the future of your business?
